Mumsnet Talk

We have been reading The Magic Faraway Tree with/to DS who has just turned six, he absolutely loves it. He reads a couple of pages then we finish the chapter for him. He's a capable but not always keen reader. I'm mostly looking for more books to read to him as we both love that time together and I want to instill a love of stories and hopefully he will want to read more himself. Next on our list is Stig Of The Dump but we don't have anything else in mind for after that and would love some suggestions.
Thanks

Anything by Roald Dahl?

Has he read any of the Mr Majeika books? My ds is similar age to yours and loves these. They are by HumphreyCarpenter, you can get them in most libraries.

Mr Twiddle books? Or Mr Gum?

The adventures of the wishing chair

Scarey Bones the skeleton, the series is available on Amazon, each book has an envelope at the back which shouldn't be opened until end of book. I particularly liked them because I live near where they are set. See the reviews on Amazon.

First Harry potter?

Aw, littleharrys that has just bought back such memories. I loved that book!
I'm going straight to Amazon with some of these suggestions as my son is at exactly the same stage as yours OP.

David Williams books....Mr Stink for example

Thanks so much, all look totally suitable :D I think I will need to apologise to the bank manager and buy shares in Amazon, the rate we get through books :D. (I'm totally useless at remembering to take library books back!)

There are lots and lots of Enid Blyton short story books. That's what we went on to after the Faraway tree. There are so many, there will be a list on the Enid Blyton website. One of ours is called'The Walkaway Shoes'.
